re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Brightlight, I took the 3rd 600w HPS out of my 5x9 because it was too hot (temp) and the electric bill was high. Now things are way cooler should I put it back in? And run 3 600w HPS in my 5x9 tent? Its almost harvest and wonder if I should use 3 for the next run, being that its cooler?? The two HPS works but the tent can hold 2000w.
Should I stick with 8 plants in my 5x9?? To get the C.dog clones from Black Heart I will have to buy 18. I was thinking put 12 in for my next run and maybe the "Sea of Green"?? 8 plants seems perfect for the 5x9. Not sure what to do, any suggestions??

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Thank you Rad. Always try for it. Some strains dump it on heavy while others not so much. Chems are more in the middle range but can be coaxed along. The new breeders seem to select for it more than traditional breeders.
I like natural light pics 4D, but I can only take those when I take them out to work on. Even then there's only have a short window when enough light comes in through the window. Using an iPad, which isn't the best camera & no flash. My occasional flash pics in tent are from old Canon point & shoot. I'd like to find a point & shoot w/ some good macro capability.
Yeah con....not like they're commonplace, but good chem lines all seem to have that gassy, fuel, oily solvent, pinesol, lemony slight bleach/ammonia aromas. While growing mine mostly give off mostly fruity & sometime floral scents, but that could be due to my inputs. The good plants start to emit the classic chem scents towards end of flower. If good genetics & grown decently, all should show it in finished bud stage.
If they weren't as strong as they are, more of my mistakes would be pissing me off. Good thing they are tough & can recover.
Dutch....maybe consider growing from seeds instead of clones? Better variety, less pest risks. Chems like to branch & spread out so maybe not the best strain for SOG/SCROG. Not a huge number, but some good Chem strains available in seed. Just a thought my friend.
You have some fine frosty ladies here

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Well I didn't skip the outdoors but,,,,,,,,,,,,, all I got was what I call mids. It will get ya a buzz,,, but to me, it's not worth smoking. But hey it cooks down to budder or RSO nicely. I have plans next year. I got three of the super autos by Flash Seed. 1110 day autos. Big ass plants yet they hold to a time cycle over the photo. Plant the 1st of April, and harvest when she done. About the first week of July when the suns still high, which will beat the rains by a month and a half here. I can see a 2-pound plant in the mix. For an auto? The last a Muay Thai I grew, yielded 1 1/2 pounds of the better' smoke I harvested. Now your legal to grow down there. Hey, atleast they gave you a 6 plant limit. Better than they did for the peeps here. Doesn't help me, I have to keep acouple three cards up for the numbers game. Besides, my doctor won't work with me if I have any illegal drugs in my system. And it's still illegal, as far as the feds are concerned. GL and Keepem Green

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Most medical growers didn't like & voted against the Prop. 64 Legalization.....6 f**king plants is too damn low. Besides, almost every city is banning outdoor growing altogether. WTF! Like everyone is going to run out & set up a grow room. Good for grow stores not medical users & growers. Yeah, I keep at least 3 recommendations at all times. For 2017 everything is the same for medical but when it's legal & fully implemented in 2018, supposedly medical goes away. Regulations, regulations, regulations.....even talk about controlling potency levels. Good justification for my seed buying ways....excuse to keep buying to stock up.

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Oregon has a 4 plant limit. Local has the call on it's rules as far as if you can or they open stores.. One thing I have to say is even if te laws say 6????? I know I've been illegally growing 95% of my life. I am not going to worry. But dude,,, come on. You can do real good with 6 plants for a person. What 6 outdoor plants should yield what 12 pounds???????????? Or close. I MYSELF woodn't worry about 1-2 plants over the limit. GL and Keepem Green

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Did you follow Lester and his KC45s from KC Brains? - Brazilian Sativa x Russian Ruderalis? Those looked like a great strain for an early finish. If I remember right, it was good smoke.

We'll jus' keep breeding on our own, heheh.

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Gray tail,,, I did. Matter a fact,,, I grew one abit before Les did. ALOT of breeders are starting new strains,,,, called "FAST VERSION". These have abit of 'special' genetics in them... Possibly an auto? Well, is part auto introduced to them. Like SAD Fast version, or these 'SUPER AUTOS', they are a 110 day plus autos. But alot have been making a 'kind of' auto flowerer, with a longer veg time. The trick is getting the most veg you can and still getting the autoflowering to kick in and finish it up timely for you.... Makes alot of sense for a 'outdoor' grow. And if you were to live in the Portland Oregon area,,,, or hell anywhere that gets a early rainy season,,, MIGHT be prayers answered.. I'm going to try afew this year. I did acouple last year. Lost the first to early flowering and I wasn't going for a reveg. The second,,, well I had a abd bout with some strange mites I've never seen before.. Broad Mites.. Damn near killed everything. So I don't count her to be even close to 75% of quailtiy. Scary MFing bugs. They can sneak up on ya without even knowing. Spider mites are easy........... Babble.
Just my 2 cents,,,, but I've been getting afew of my seeds waylaid as of late.... Kind of scary... I mean I get them,,, but. Might be a good thing to sercure your gentetics and keep a good stock on hand.... You never know,,, and let's leave that at that ok? GL and Keepem Green

Plants are growing pretty well. Well sorry about AUMA passing, but I wouldn't worry so much about 6 plants limit. I'm sure there's way around it.

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Thanks brightlight. my first tent run now is from seed except two. From seed takes along time it seems. I popped them early July and harvest is soon. 6 months total for an indoor grow! I like the idea of Cdog Clones from Dark Heart except I have to buy 18. I read their good outdoors too so maybe a few outside. Im partial to Cdog because I had a strain for a few years I lost last year. Theres time to decide. I plan the next tent run end on Jan.
Nice to know the C.dog isent good for a SOG. Im guessing all is good for a SCROG because it just basically supports?? Im getting ready to make my SCROG rack. Seems to me I need bud support with anything I grow.
Where should I buy seeds??
Should I add back the 3rd 600w HPS to the 5x9 tent?? I took it out because temps were too hot in Aug. but alls well now and Im thinking I should put it back in for the next run. The tents maxed at 2000w and the 3rd light makes 1800w. Temps are much better with the cooler weather. Put it back in?????
Thanks!!

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
I wood. More light= bigger buds. Light is only 1/3 of a plants requirements but it is a big part.
You want a big single cola plant for a SOG. Something with minimal side branching so you can pack them in. SCROG, you want something that has alot of side branches so you can fill a screen with few plants. I like at least 9 plants in a 4X4' tent for a SOG. I only veg clones for SOG seeing you want the same plant for a good SOG. And I only veg about 2 weeks before I flip. And I use 1 or 2-gallon pots per plant.
But with alittle work and time, you can SCROG a 4X4 with one or two plants. I've never run a complete SCROG myself, I like to move my plants around the flower room and it's kind of hard if it's all screened up.
Hope you don't mind I throw a comment out there Brightlights. Hope alls well in your world. Keepem Green

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
About the same here on the illegal growing so yeah I'm not going to change anything. Just bitching out loud as all the medical growers around here are doing. I gave up on the big outdoor plants....too much work at harvest & less need since moving inside. Remember my friend I'm 70.
Com'on man...I rely on you all to pipe in to help keep this sleepy journal going. Goes for everyone....chime in, sound off....anytime.
The details of new legalization aren't the best, but I changed to yes vote at last minute out of general principle....no way in hell our plant should ever be anything but legal. My way around it is to just keep doing what I do. The outdoor bans are so stupid. As much as I love indoor growing, weed is supposed to be grown outside! Trump's Atty. Gen. says, "good people don't use marijuana." Hard to believe in 2016.
I'm past needing an excuse to buy more seeds, but when one comes along.....fine! Have you started up again? Waiting for it.
Since I added a veg tent, I'm able to double the number of grows. Maybe use your "extra" light in new veg tent unless it goes back into flower tent? My outdoor Cali 91 was better than either of the 2 indoor versions. Like NCW said....look at some non branching indicas....totem pole types & don't do anything to grow out the laterals or any shaping. Bud support can be avoided via how you feed them...get the stems thick & stout....Si & Ca help a lot. Mentioning seed banks here is taboo unless they are sponsors. I've used Seedsman...a sponsor w/ great customer service but higher prices. My favorites are....1. rhymes with "dude" & 2. "FS" are the 1st initials of the 2 names. Even this cryptic info may be stricken.

Man you are old.......... JK my friend. Here I'm having trouble and I'm only 56. I can only hope I still can move afew pots around at 60.
And them outdoor grows are alot more work than people know. You can always throw some autos out there. I know I have afew seeds stock piled from the freebies I've found. I've been saying I'm going to downsize for afew years. But pot grows to alotted space. And spreads into every pot I own it seems. GL and Keepem Green

re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Im trying to decide on my next run. To get the Dark Heart clones I want I have to get 18. I love C.dog and wonder if theirs is close to the cdog I had for 3yrs and lost. 8 plants fit great in my 5x9 and Im thinking 8 cdogs scrogged. I was looking a PVC at Home depot and Im thinking make two racks side by side. Yes Wood, Ive thought once you Scrogg your not moving nothing. Better hope no bugs after. I figure once the plants are at the scrogg height, spray them good for bugs and put the scrogg net on top and hope for the best. I figure if I do get the 18 Cdog clones I will have lots! Some for the tent, some for the yard, some for another laundry grow and a Cdog mother. I can pull clones for more later on. Dark Hearts S.diesel is a great clone so far for me. I love C.dog!! I think I just love all great smelling weed!! What fun!!! Time to get stoned! Morning all! Wood, how do you tie your buds up??????
